Friday, September 25, 2026 - Two members of a vigilante group have been killed by suspected bandits in Yelwa village, Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The incident occurred at about 9:10 p.m. on Wednesday,
according to a post shared by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Thursday
night.
The report said troops of Sector 4, Sub-Sector 41, Operation
Enduring Peace (OPEP), were deployed to Yelwa when they received reports of
sporadic shooting in the community.
“On reaching the area, the troops found two vigilantes lying
dead with gunshot wounds.
“They were identified as 50-year-old Philibus Maichibi and
60-year-old Pam Alamba.
“The attackers had reportedly left the area before the
troops arrived,” Makama wrote.
The troops subsequently searched the surrounding area in an
attempt to locate the attackers but did not make contact with them.
Security forces have continued operations in the area as
part of efforts to track down those responsible for the attack and prevent
further violence in the community.
